Craig and his hair were picked to read the morning announcements for 2 weeks on Wingnut School's closed-circuit TV channel

He took this very seriously, so he'd bring the announcements home each night and practice them endlessly for the next day.

Let me tell you, there are very few things that can drive you crazier than a kid re-reading ad infinitum things like "Band practice is at 12:45 on the north field. The chess club will meet in the library at 2:15. There will be a bake sale to support the 6th grade field trip at 3:00 in front of the cafeteria." Over and over and over again.

Anyway.

This past weekend was the annual Boy Scout popcorn sale in front of Local Grocery. So Craig and his hair were out accosting shoppers, when a tween girl stopped in front of the table.

Craig: "Would you like to buy some popcorn?"

Tween Girl: "Hey! You're that kid on school TV!"

Craig: "Yes I am! Would you like an autographed bag of Scout popcorn?"

Grumpy, I who am hirsute challenged or is it coiffed dysfunctional or simply thinning to shiny has studied the hair thing. Notice Mitt and Rick Perry (Ken Doll) would be Presidentials and their hair. JFK had the hair, got the girls got the office. Bill Clinton, ditto.

PS That young girl just didn't stop by to buy Popcorn, if you know what I am saying.

There is an air about hair. Do not forger that. The only thing saving the union is the fact that there are more of us than of them.

Ah, the Power of Hair. Hopefully he has some brains (your specality, no?) under that mop or you will be seeing a parade of "bimbettes" through the house. Congrats of the BS sale, and I suspect there were a few gray-haired g'mas and a few middle-aged ladies admiring the "adorable young man" as well.

Ahh hair...does he do the whole head shaking thing every three seconds to get his hair perfectly tossed across his crown? I was certain I would be riddled with doctor bills due to neck pain, but somehow we made it.
